4d. Real Estate Income Statement – Multifamily

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Using a true-to-life Case Study, this mini course teaches the student how to read a typical real estate income statement and rent roll for multifamily properties. This skill is essential for any professional working in, or considering working in, multifamily investments – either as an acquisition, asset management, portfolio management, or development professional.

Knowing how to properly dissect and categorize the income and expense items typical to multifamily properties, is an important step to properly modeling multifamily cash flows. As is being able to quickly and accurately analyze a multifamily rent roll in Excel.

CASE DESCRIPTION – PROFESSIONAL INTERVIEW

You have recently been contacted by a friend working at one of A.CRE Advisors competitors, Burton Belasco, LP (BBLP). She is reaching out because there is an exciting job opportunity to become part of their underwriting team. You’ve been at A.CRE Advisors for a few years and it’s crowded at the top, so it’s been tough for your career advancement.

This job opportunity would be a bump in both title and salary. You decide to send her your resume and a few days later, a member of the BBLP team reaches out to you for a first round interview.

In anticipation, you call your friend to ask her for a few tips to prepare. She informs you that in her interview process last year, they wanted to know that she understood fundamental concepts and particularly grilled her on her understanding of line items in the income statements.

She said to make sure you review these items for each asset class and come prepared to answer questions about them.
